Unlike traditional vaults that were built in the basement, Berjaya Times Square’s vault is located at Ground Floor Central and the sleek finishing drives shoppers into a frenzy to live out their fantasy by playing a secret agent destined to unlock the unbreakable. Built to replicate some of the most sophisticated and modern bank vaults in the world, the attraction comes with a built in timer that keeps count of the 60 precious seconds which one is allowed in the vault, and an LED panel which displays the total prize money to be won.
Ms Koh Huey Min, Executive Director of Berjaya Times Square said that, “Berjaya Times Square is proud and thrilled that it is recognized in the Malaysia Book of Records as the first to build this incredibly complex attraction. It is an honor which puts Berjaya Times Square at an international standing in the shopping industry,”
To participate via the redemption programme, shoppers have to spend RM200 in no more than 2 receipts of the same day to redeem an entry for 60 seconds in the vault. Upon gaining access, the outer cache contains numerous keys and one has to search for the correct key to unlock the vault. To kick up the excitement, the prize money of RM200 snowballs on a daily basis until it is retrieved from the vault! Once the prize money is won, the prize resets to RM200 for the next day and shoppers who qualify for the redemption on the same day will receive a mystery gift as a token of appreciation.
Koh further added that, “An attraction which interacts and elicits excitement from participants is fairly new in this region and we are confident that it will provide our shoppers with an unforgettable experience. The challenge it poses is easily understood yet intriguing to everyone of all ages which makes it in theme with Berjaya Times Square’s motto to constantly enhance our shoppers’ retail experience.”
Overall, the event was a huge success by judging based on the reactions of the public. There was a huge sum of cash rewards issued for all the winners that manage to crack open the vault.
